We all know how difficult it is to get a doctors appointment at the surgery sometimes, and it’s no surprise given the pressure that they are under. They provide a service second to none but what about when you have something that’s bothering you that isn’t of an emergency nature, but you want to have the ear, eye and expertise of a medical professional to talk to?

Based in Hart Street, The Maxwell Practice, Henley’s new private GP clinic has opened as a welcome addition to the local healthcare services. The family-run practice meets a growing demand for convenient, high quality primary health care without the waiting times.

Run by Dr. Mike Thomas and his wife, Victoria Thomas (pictured above), The Maxwell Practice is able to offer a simple and easy booking process, little or no waiting times and continuity of care. Dr. Thomas offers a wealth of experience from his work as a GP in the NHS, having built up a much-loved reputation among his patients.

With unhurried, thirty-minute appointments, patients have time to fully discuss their problems allowing the doctor to treat the patient holistically and get to the root of the issues. Easy-to-book appointments can be made directly on the phone or online, with same-day availability. Follow-ups can be with the same doctor, which helps develop a special doctor-patient relationship that emphasises continuity of care. Ease of accessibility is paramount to the practice, with in-person, video or telephone consultations and home visits all available.

Alongside regular GP appointments, The Maxwell Practice offers a range of services including menopause consultations and Women’s Health services with Dr Helen Kennedy, vaccines, sexual health, and health screens which are like a personal ‘MOT’ with an emphasis on preventive care and wellbeing.

“Our mission is to place local patients and their needs at the heart of everything we do and take the stress out of getting access to exceptional care,” explains Dr. Thomas. “We want to ensure that all our patients receive the personalised care they deserve.”

Patients can choose to pay-as-they-go or opt for a convenient membership scheme which gives unrestricted access to consultations.

Notably, patients are not required to deregister from their NHS GP.

Consultation appointments cost £150 weekdays, or £175 on Saturdays.
